The Wii U edition of Darksiders II will feature additional bonus-content not included with other formats. Included on the disc will be the first DLC expansion, Argul's Tomb, as well as all pre-order bonuses from other editions, adding around five hours of playable content and new legendary weapons and armor.
Darksiders II on Wii U will take advantage of the unique Wii U GamePad, utilizing the touch screen to display map and objectives as well as giving quick access to abilities and Death’s inventory. The Wii U system’s gyro functionality will also be utilized to allow players to evade enemy attacks, manipulate objects in the world and steer their character during swimming and riding sequences.

Darksiders II follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. This story runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game and shows Death trying to redeem his brother War, the horseman who was blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders.

Australian gaming journalists and community identities gathered in Sydney for a near Death experience, as they underwent a series of stunt trainings aimed at recreating some of the horseman's moves from Darksiders II. Activities included stunt choreography with scythes, tumbling and dodging, and throwing flaming "bombs".
Participants also got a look at previously unseen Darksiders II footage, plus sneak peeks of WWE '13, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Company of Heroes 2.
